The Brother Innovis F580 | Introduction To Machine Embroidery
I am desperate for a new sewing machine! This next sewing machine will be my forever sewing machine and I need to make sure it's the right one for me. So I am documenting the process and sharing it with you. This is the first in a little series of vlogs on different models and brands of machines. I am lucky enough in my job role as a Sewing Demonstrator @sewingmachinesuk to be able to borrow different demo machines to trial.
My first trial machine is the Brother Innovis F580 Combination Sewing and Embroidery machine. It's a amazing machine and hope you enjoy learning about it with me.
Available to purchase through -sewingmachinesuk.co.uk/collections/brother/products/innov-is-f580-sewing-quilting-and-embroidery-machine

THE best top I have ever made | I'm duping everything !!

As soon as I saw this Dakota top / blouse / shirt from Damson Madder , I was obsessed with it. However, there is no way I would spend 80 quid on it, HA! So what do we do as sewists??? We make it ourselves - woooo!! I used the Silversaga Clara Dress pattern as the base and it worked an absolute treat. Let me know if you have a go at creating this , I hope in even a tiny way it helps to inspire y...

    This machine is just like a combination of my Innovis F420 and NV800E! Can I suggest 505 spray and then you can lay your t shirt on top of the hoop and avoid hoop burn, very useful for stretch and velvet, I’ve also done denim jackets like this as hooping them is difficult with the thick seams you get on parts of them. Enjoy x

    Christie, it looks lovely. I’ve never heard of Silver Saga patterns. So that was fun. My reaction to the top being reversible was despair. 😩Usually that means the top is not sized for boobs.

    I would be careful with pockets in that dress. If you just put your hands in them it would be fine obviously but if you put something like your phone in them it would drag the dress down on that side. Usually dresses with functional pockets have waistbands that the pockets hang from. Very cute though. And I do see the chitty chitty bang bang vibes lol.
